Perhaps there should then be no b-hebrew since we (sometimes) "take it apart, word by word and analyze it according to grammar" and "discuss it in foreign languages" (sometimes including Latin).  Much better that we simply publish the rabbinic commentators.   A simple web page devoted to this should suffice (not in English or German or French, etc., of course).  There should be no discussion — after all, the rabbis said all that need be said.
